Fiscal Detail and Notes
When limitations on conditions of restoration to service after retirement were enacted in 2011 no costs or savings were budgeted.  It was assumed that limiting compensation to 75% would deter some retirees from returning to work and those positions would have to be filled by replacement workers.  The State and school administrative units would have to pay health insurance costs and retirement costs for new replacement workers, which would offset the savings from the 25% reduction in compensation for those who would return at the lower pay.  Limiting the provisions to apply only to school superintendents and principals is not expected to significantly change the net impact of the original legislation.
